At least for some people. My friend Kathy, who has had CFIDS/ME so severe that she has often presented as HIV Negative AIDS, she's better after two years of a fairly clean, bland diet. Her mother and her husband cook her food and they don't use any processed or prepackaged food. They cut out all MSG, Aspartame, Yeast, Dairy, and Sugar. What they do is feed her pure steamed or stir fried fresh veggies with meat and only use some salt, pepper, and a few other things, but every meal is fresh and pure with no weird additives. And pure fresh fruits.
Two years ago, she was in and out of the ER all the time. Today, she's much better. She still has CFIDS/ME, but she thinks clearer, she's nowhere near as dead as she was. Her POTS symptoms are milder. She's just better in alot of ways. Right now, the only thing they were never able to make better was the Acid/Reflux GERD. She still gets it, but she's taking something called Mastica, it's a supplement that she says is helping it.
I have seen her when she's been so bad she couldn't even turn over, so I'm surprised at the turn around. She's had this disease since she was about eighteen. She's thirty two now.
The diet, for her, made a huge difference. She also takes vitamins, keeps the vitamin D high. But it's the diet that helped her. She's actually better than me right now. I don't know if I'd ever have the willpower to stick with that strict diet, plus, half the time I'm too sick to cook and have to eat whatever's around.
